Maverick Wreck
About this Dive Site
Description
Explore the Maverick Wreck, a former ferry transformed into a thriving artificial reef. This impressive 350-foot structure, deliberately sunk in 1997, is a magnet for pelagic life, often hosting large barracuda, swirling schools of horse-eye jacks, and the occasional majestic reef shark.
